Question 698Navigation General
70% to passSteady precipitation is typical of _______________.
A
scattered cumulus clouds
B
coming cold weather conditions
C
high pressure conditions
D
a warm front weather condition
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) a warm front weather condition. Steady precipitation is typically associated with the passage of a warm front, which is a type of frontal system where a mass of warm air replaces a mass of colder air. As the warm front moves in, the warm air rises over the cooler air, leading to widespread and steady precipitation. This is in contrast to the other options, which are not usually associated with steady precipitation - scattered cumulus clouds (A), coming cold weather conditions (B), and high pressure conditions (C) are more typically linked to intermittent or lighter precipitation patterns.
